“The last couple of months have been busy as usual in the Club.  The EGM to amend the Constitution was well attended and unusually uneventful.  As the meeting was very short there left plenty of time to retire to the bar.  Hopefully we may have established a precedent.

Members who regularly attend the club will have noticed the renovation of what was once the  provisional poker machine room which has added substantially to the amenity of the club.  Given that the additional space is often fully occupied by patrons one has to wonder whether much revenue at all is lost by not having poker machines.  I suspect  very little and I’m sure the Club and the Wickham community  benefits immensely in other ways by their absence.”  says Commodore Bruce Hansen.

This was a wonderful example of inter-club cooperation.  A large number of NCYC members volunteered their time, to perform various functions over the two days, four hours,34 minutes and fifty two seconds of the race. 

Aurora was on station from noon Friday doing the HF skeds and monitoring the radio.  Episode (the Thrifty boat) was likewise on station to take finish times with the first boat across the line just after 1pm on Saturday.  The tender from Far Niente was the ferry boat for food, changes in crew etc for the other two boats.  And then there was the team of Inner Circle Rum Runners who welcomed each boat into NCYC marina, and our galley slaves who looked after the vittles when yachts came in outside of meal hours.
